KATT'S KOMMENTS10/16/2008 6:09:30 AMMy husband is very intelligent. He has many accomplishments on his resume. He was the former Superentendent of schools and he was also the former mayor. I have a great deal of respect for him and I also look to him for advice. However, there are also times when I think he has no common sense. He says it's because he is retired and he doesn't have to "use" his brain any more. His goal in life now is to play golf, or sit and watch someone else playing golf (on tv).
Just last night we were having a conversation regarding his hobbies. He said he feels, at his age, he should be able to do whatever he wants to do. When he wants to do it. He was talking about his decision to play golf today. He said he didn't feel like playing golf today, that he just wanted to "hang out" with me for the day. Now mind you, I'm NOT retired. I'm a writer. I am ONLY able to write when he DOES play golf. Because when he's home, there's no door big enough to keep him on the other side of it. He wants to "ask me a question". He "needs" help, he's "hungry, thirsty, or as the case the other day, "needed to be covered up for his nap".
He looked at me last night and smiled, "you know I'm pretty smart, don't you?"
I looked at him and said, "well, I haven't seen any evidence of it lately."
